Topband: Re: Midnite Path / Pre Dawn QSOs from 4S7

[RPARKES197@aol.com]

I have done a "limited" analysis of my 4S7RPG results over a 4 yr period. 
Just wish I had kept a more detailed record of nil QSOs !!
Unfortunately I am currently unable to compare actual sunrise times with the 
info but the following should stimulate the debate !   

Most QSOs were EU during both periods and only had 3 QSOs with NA which was 
actually at sunrise.
 
Of 40 (minimum!) activity sessions percentage QSO success rate !!
 
 1930-2230 hr period - 190 total QSO's 
 1930-2230 hr  period -       No   QSO's  17 out of 40 times
 1930-2230 hr  period -      1-2   QSO's  8  out of 40 times
 1930-2230 hr  period -      3-7   QSO's  7  out of 40 times
 1930-2230 hr  period -      8-22  QSO's  8  out of 40 times
 
 0000-0115 hr sunrise period   -   38 total QSO's
 0000-0115 hr sunrise period    -   No   QSO's   28 times out of 40 times 
 0000-0115 hr sunrise period    -  1-2   QSO's    7 times out of 40 times
 0000-0115 hr sunrise period    -  3-7   QSO's    5 times out of 40 times
         (best sunrise openings Dec 22, Dec 24-96, & Jan 4-97)
 
I think the above can indicate my frustration !!
 
best 73's
